    • Quick, healthy and only a few ingredients
    • Great for a ready to go tasty breakfast or snack
    • Vegan, gluten free and made without refined sugars
    • Tastes like the flavors of the perfect fall apple pie

    Ingredients notes

    Apple Cinnamon overnight oats ingredients based on what I used and had on hand with some recommended substitutions.

    • Rolled oats- I don't recommend using quick oats for this recipe and make sure to use certified gluten free oats.
    • Cashew milk- any unsweetened plant based milk will work for these but my personal favorites are cashew and almond milk.
    • Apples- organic honey crisp apples were used or you can substitute with your favorite apple.
    • Almond butter- creamy almond butter or any nut butters would work.
    • Maple syrup- you can substitute with honey but it won't be vegan friendly.
    • Chia seeds- optional but recommended for a great source of plant based protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
    • Cinnamon ground- Ceylon cinnamon recommended.

    Variations and add ins

    • Top it with chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds or any crunchy nuts
    • Swap the cashew milk with almond, oat or regular milk if you don't need dairy free

    FAQ?

    Can you heat up overnight oats?

    Yes! I prefer to eat them cold but they can be warmed on the stovetop on low heat for several minutes till warmed through. Make sure to put some additional milk in the pan with the oats prior to warming.

    How long can you store overnight oats?

    In a glass covered container in the fridge for up to five days. Add extra toppings right before serving.

    Can you freeze overnight oats?

    Yes! Simply store them in individual portions in freezer safe containers. Freeze only the oats, milk and maple syrup. Add additional ingredients when serving.

      Love the idea of using almond butter in overnight oats! It's been ages since I made overnights oats, and it's time I rectified that - great recipe!

      I love almond butter with apples but I've never tried both of those in oats! That's genius! I'll definitely be trying this!

      I have yet to jump on the overnight oatmeal bandwagon, however the sound of almond butter and apples sound absolutely delightful and worth trying.
